Need advice on steering wheel restoration

[oldspowered67C10]

Ive restored them before using both epoxy and body filler. The epoxy is super strong but takes awhile to set up and sands slowly. The body filler sands fast and is easier to form when applying but I dont trust it for structural stuff. If I was building a completely missing section Id use epoxy but for cracks and small splits Id use body filler.

The difficulty of sanding the epoxy is exactly what had me concerned. None of the cracks are huge so I think I'll give the bondo a whirl first. If it cracks again I could always grind it out larger and refill with epoxy later.

As always, thanks one and all who have replied. This site rocks!
